All Souls College, Oxford
Project: Commercial & International, Town & Roof Gardens, Work in Progress
We’re delighted to have been appointed by All Souls College, Oxford to create a new rooftop garden for the College. Fellows, staff and visitors to the college will be able to enjoy breathtaking views across the city’s iconic spires to the rolling Oxfordshire hills beyond.
We are working in partnership with award-winning architects Wright and Wright, whose wider remit ambitiously and sensitively renews a series of buildings to deliver a new hub for academic excellence. Above these, our roof garden design will create a richly-planted space with flexible spaces for individual, group and event use.
The garden will have exceptional sustainability credentials, including blue roof systems and passive irrigation, and a a resilient and situation-suitable palette planted in a substrate mix including sand and biochar.
